Ethics [Thursday, November 19, 1st period]

[sith_happened]

Today Anakin's desk was covered with droid babies in bassinets.

Each baby had a tiny stuffed Ewok tucked next to it. Shh.

"Today we talk about lust," Anakin said. "Or rather, the unintended consequences that can happen when you take action without precautions."

He smiled. "Meet your little projects for the next two weeks. They're heavy, they cry, and they will record everything you do with them. So if you stuff them into a closet for the duration, believe me, I'll know."

After all, he'd built all of them.

He reached for a list of paper. "Some of you I've paired together, some of you are single parents." His smile turned a little evil. "Some of your babies are a little fussier than others."

"No way," he shook his head. "We're in this mess together."

"I'm willing to scale up from there," she said. "Can't we just ... sell it on the black market? I've heard people pay good money for healthy newborns."

Elena's maternal instinct appeared to be broken.

"Maybe if we had an actual baby," Bobby admitted. "But I don't think anyone out there's interested in a robot-kid." ...Well, Hank might be. Maybe. From a purely scientific standpoint.

"We could throw it away, and explain that our real-life counterparts sold it," Elena suggested. Dryly. "Or bring in pamphlets on contraception and point out that we're not this fucking stupid, to get stuck with a kid."
